The forecasted data for goods transported by railway international transport in the UK shows a steady increase from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 530 million tonne kilometers in 2024, it is expected to rise modestly to 543 million by 2028. This represents a year-on-year average growth rate of approximately 0.6% over the five-year period. Such gradual growth indicates a stable, yet modest, expansion in the volume of goods moved via railway for international transport within the UK.
Looking forward, key trends to watch include technological advancements in railway logistics, shifts in international trade policies, and environmental regulations affecting transport modes. These factors could significantly influence the efficiency, cost, and preference for railway transport, potentially altering future growth trajectories.
